Have you
had your Joy Juice today?Drinking it
faithfully is to key to abundant JOY!

ABUNDANCE----what
does that word mean to you?When I hear
the word, I immediately think of a huge amount of something!Sometimes we think we have an abundance of
WORK!Many days there is an abundance of
laundry and housework…especially for those with young families.At certain times of the year, we experience an
abundance of yard work. Are you ever overwhelmed by an abundance of
bills?!!!!!

Today let’s
think of abundance in the manner that Jesus taught about in the Gospel of John.
Remember the passage we mentioned yesterday in John 10:10? “I
have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more
abundantly.”This kind of
abundance is a good thing….a realllllly good thing!

Bruce
Wilkinson (in The Prayer of Jabez Devotional) writes that “the secret to TRUE abundance is to want what God wants.” That means
that we love God so much that we put aside our desires and trust that He knows
what is best for us.He wants us to
bring our needs and desires before Him, but when we do so, we need to be
content with His answer and His provision.

Abundant
life in Christ is living every moment soaking up His love, His will and His
direction.It is then that we will be
filled with ABUNDANT JOY!

Drink in the joy of the Lord
every day, trusting God to bless you with true abundance!

Have you
had your Joy Juice today?Help yourself
to an abundant serving!

The verse
in John 10:10 should bring a smile to our face and joy to our heart! Jesus
said: “I have come that they may have
life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

What an
awesome, humbling truth!!Jesus came to
this earth, lived and died for YOU and ME…so that we can enjoy abundant life! Do
you understand the enormity of that truth!? He doesn’t want us simply to survive! He
wants us to THRIVE!

It’s a sad
thing that many people think abundance is simply about wealth, possessions, a
big house, an expensive automobile and a big, bulging bank account.The abundance Jesus is talking about goes far
beyond material things.It’s being
content with what God has given us and expressing gratitude and joy EVEN in
during tough times.Some of the most
joyful people you will ever meet are those who have a close relationship with
the Lord.It has NOTHING to do with how
rich or poor they are by the world’s standards.

Are you living in God’s abundance?
We can profess to be a Christian and miss out on the abundant life because we
are not 100% “sold out” to Him.Give God
every part of your heart!THAT’s how to
experience the ABUNDANT life overflowing with JOY!!

Drink an abundant serving of JOY JUICE so that
you’ll overflow onto and into the lives of others.

This week
we’ve talked a lot about learning to recognize God’s voice.How can we be sure that it’s Him speaking?Sometimes we’re not sure if it’s God or maybe
just our own thoughts….and sometimes even that evil enemy.

First of
all, we must stay in The Word…and know when something doesn’t match up with
scripture.That’s why it’s so important
to read the Bible daily, to be saturated with truth so that we recognize
something that is UNTRUESatan is our
enemy and he is pretty cunning.He’ll
try to deceive us at every turn. In John 8:44 he is called the “father
of lies”.

So how can
we be sure it’s God speaking? One of the surest ways to recognize God’s voice
is the effect His words have on us.The
results should produce increased faith, gratitude and joy!God’s voice brings encouragement and
peace.He tells us to “be
anxious for nothing” in Philippians 4:6.He’s the God who calms our mind and
soul.A sure sign that we’ve heard from
him is the peace we feel in the midst of the storm.

We, also,
will know God is speaking because of our attitude.He will place in our hearts a new
understanding toward others, and we’ll begin to feel greater compassion and
mercy.We’ll find ourselves not only
being a blessing to those around us, but receiving joyful blessings as well!

May we listen for God’s voice and experience
His encouragement, peace, understanding and joy!
